I read the big thread. There is a post there about the controller returning a= n out of bounds or invalid ID. That would be a problem, with the controller.= Dell is a company that largely deals with Windows. I=E2=80=99m sure Windows d= oes not care one whit about invalid USB controllers that maybe hijacking you= r hardware, and neither does Dell because 99% of their customers are using w= indows.

You have been given two suggestions on how to mitigate y= our problem, and your response is =E2=80=9CI don=E2=80=99t WANNA!=E2=80=9D W= hich is fine, but then you repeatedly complain about how your problems is no= t solved. It=E2=80=99s no ones job to solve your problem. This is not a comm= on problem. This is an edge case. Sucks, but that=E2=80=99s the way it is. If you want to use Linux, fine, this is NOT the place to ask for suggestions= on what Linux to switch to, because this is not a Linux list, and you askin= g that here comes across as you simply bring a shit-stirrer. If you think compiling a kernel is too hard and you can=E2=80=99t figure out= how/refuse to disable the errant usb in your UEFI, then yes, switching OS i= s another, possible, solution for you. I would not be at all surprised to fi= nd you have problems on current Linux. I would buy a USB3 card ($20?) with a different controller, put that in, and= disable the onboard USB-3, but that=E2=80=99s me. --=20 My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways t= o reject even more mail.
